Is it possible to access and intercept POST variables using a GET request in PHP?

It is not possible to access POST variables using a GET request in PHP because POST variables are sent in the request body, while GET variables are sent in the URL. To access POST variables, you need to use the $_POST superglobal array. If you need to access POST variables using a GET request, you would need to modify the server-side code to accept GET parameters instead. 

// Example of accessing POST variables using the $_POST superglobal
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    $postVariable = $_POST['post_variable'];
    // Do something with the POST variable
}

// Example of modifying the server-side code to accept GET parameters instead
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {
    $getVariable = $_GET['get_variable'];
    // Do something with the GET variable
}
